As I expected, the content was only one word, "Time".
I took a look at my watch and found that it was already past five o'clock. It would not be available today, so I told him, "Tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock".
Tomorrow happened to be weekend.
At that time, there should be a lot of people in the appointed place.
Even if Matt wanted to harm me, he would not manage to do.
Matt did not send any other email then.
The next morning, I changed into a casual suit and went to the restaurant.
It was just 11 o'clock, and there were not many people there. When I went in, I saw Matt already arrived.
He sat alone on a table in the corner, and I didn't walk over until I turned the phone into recording mode.
I sat down without saying anything.
Matt was stunned for a second when he saw me. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Well, a person can't be greedy for money." "You remember me?"
From his expression, I knew it.
Or rather, what he had done back then left a deep impression on his mind.
"Of course." Matt clapped his hands together and looked helpless. "I couldn't fall asleep every night, and I was wondering who you were. Finally, after thinking for such a long time, I could only recall this matter."
"Really?" I teased.
Matt could recognize me because he knew my identity through recent news on the Internet.
He guessed that I might search for him.
Matt did not answer, but just asked me, "What do you want me to do?"
"Of course to expose what happened back then."
I said flatly.
Hearing that, Matt's face turned pale and he shook his head quickly. "No, it's impossible! If in that case, I'll be doomed!"
"Then won't you be doomed if it is exposed that you sleep with the director's wife and got promotion by this?" I sat there, my eyes fixed on him.
'I hate him!'
He was really unworthy of being a doctor! How dare he do such a thing for money!
Matt didn't dare to look at me and he felt guilty in his heart.
He lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time.
To him, this was a decision that was difficult to make.
I looked at him and asked indifferently, "Hmm? Mr. Parma, haven't you decided yet? Then I'll leave, and we'll talk about it after you think it through."
I was about to get up at the same time.
"Hey, wait!" Matt stopped me.
I looked back at him, and the corners of my eyes curved slightly, "Have you made up your mind?"
Matt said painfully, "I really can't do this. If I admit this in public, my life will be over."
"When you did these things, didn't you ever think that the truth can't be concealed forever as the fire can't be wrapped in paper?"
I asked in a low voice.
Even so, the people around looked over at him.
I took a seat again.
Matt looked at me painfully. "I know I was wrong.
At that time, my child was sick and needed money. I had no way..."
"Don't make a pitiful face. The life of your child is worth saving, isn't my grandmother's life worth saving?" I looked at Matt coldly. "If Mr. Parma wants to pour out grievance to me today, then I'll leave. I don't have time to listen."
When I said this, I was also afraid that Matt would give up repenting his error. To tell the truth, this was the best chance for me now.
After thinking for a moment, I said to him, "In any case, Jeremy is going to be sentenced. That is because he wanted to kill me for getting the house that my grandmother gave me, and I was almost killed. So, you can directly pass the buck to him."
